Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to an improved classifier impeller optimization fastening structure, belonging to the field of air classifier technology. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of the air classifier, power is transmitted via a key. Simultaneously, under the influence of gravity and the dynamic balancing force generated during the rotation of the classifier impeller, a significant downward force is generated. At this point, a main shaft cover is used to secure the classifier impeller to the end face of the main shaft using tension bolts, thus preventing the impeller from falling off. However, under conditions of significant impeller weight and prolonged use, the following risks may arise: 1) The main shaft cover may deform. This deformation increases the distance between the classifier impeller and the main shaft shoulder, causing the impeller to move axially along the main shaft, resulting in damage to the threaded holes on the main shaft connected to the tension bolts; 2) Fixing the main shaft cover to the main shaft requires threaded holes on the main shaft, which may affect the strength of the main shaft.

[0037] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an improved classifier impeller 2 has an optimized fastening structure, including: a main shaft 1, a classifier impeller 2, a fixing nut 3, a locking nut 4, and a first stop washer 5.

[0038] Specifically, the main shaft 1 is provided with a first keyway; the classifier impeller 2 is provided with a mounting through hole, and a second keyway is provided in the mounting through hole. The main shaft 1 is connected to the classifier impeller through the first keyway, the key, and the second keyway; a portion of the main shaft 1 extends below the classifier impeller 2, and the portion of the main shaft 1 extending below the classifier impeller 2 is provided with an external thread structure; the fixing nut 3 is threadedly connected to the external thread structure and abuts against the lower end of the classifier impeller 2 to fix the classifier impeller 2 to the main shaft 1; the locking nut 4 is threadedly connected to the external thread structure, and a first stop washer 5 is provided between the fixing nut 3 and the locking nut 4.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, this application provides an external thread structure at the portion of the main shaft 1 extending below the classifier impeller 2; the fixing nut 3 is threaded to the external thread structure and abuts against the lower end of the classifier impeller 2 to fix the classifier impeller 2 to the main shaft 1; the locking nut 4 is threaded to the external thread structure, and a first stop washer 5 is provided between the fixing nut 3 and the locking nut 4. This solves the problems in the prior art where the main shaft 1 cover deforms, which increases the distance between the classifier impeller 2 and the main shaft 1 shoulder, causing the classifier impeller 2 to move axially along the main shaft 1 and damaging the threaded hole on the main shaft 1 connected to the tension bolt; and the problem that fixing the main shaft 1 cover plate to the main shaft 1 requires opening threaded holes on the main shaft 1, thus affecting the strength of the main shaft 1.

[0040] As a further preferred embodiment, the classifier impeller 2 includes: a hub 201, which has a mounting through hole and a second keyway; the main shaft 1 is connected to the hub 201 via a first keyway, a key, and a second keyway; blades 202, which are fixedly connected to the hub 201, and multiple blades 202 are evenly arrayed around the hub 201 to form an annular grading cavity, optimizing material dispersion and grading efficiency; and two support rings 203, which are spaced apart along the height direction of the blades 202, with each blade 202 fixedly connected to both support rings 203. To further enhance the strength of the upper part of the blades 202, the classifier impeller 2 also includes a support ring retainer 204, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the blades 202 by welding. To reduce the amount of large particles entering the impeller 2 from the gap between the shell and the impeller 2, a stepped structure 205 is provided on the upper part of the blade 202. When the powder 9 approaches the impeller blade 202 from bottom to top after grinding, it is blocked by the stepped structure 205, which effectively prevents large particles from entering the impeller 2 and further improves the powder classification accuracy of the classifier.

[0041] The main shaft 1 is rotatably connected to the classifier housing 6 via bearing 11. The main shaft 1 and the classifier housing 6 have two rotatable connection parts, namely a bottom rotatable connection part 602 and a top rotatable connection part 601.

It should be noted that the upper end of the main shaft 1 is provided with an external thread structure, and the positioning nut 12 is used to press the inner ring of the bearing 11. There is a rotational clearance between the positioning nut 12 and the bearing cap 10. The positioning nut 12 presses the inner ring of the bearing onto the main shaft step. The bearing cap 10 mainly fixes the bearing axially to the main shaft, and the outer ring of the bearing and the classifier housing 6 are fitted together for assembly.

[0042] Furthermore, a round nut 13 is screwed onto the main shaft 1, which is used to lock the positioning nut 12. A second stop washer 14 is provided between the round nut 13 and the positioning nut 12 to prevent the round nut 13 from loosening. It should be noted that the upper end of the main shaft 1 is provided with an inner hole, and an inner groove is also provided on the inner hole. The output shaft of the motor 8 is connected to the main shaft 1 via a key.
